The tribute to Lindsay Parsons, I have followed Rovers since 1963. but I only recognised Ian Holloway on the touchline, who were the other explayers.

Hard to tell with our poundstretcher PA system struggling - felt sorry for the announcer as he sounded more like Norman Collier! |

The PA on at an ear bleeding volume throughout the warm-up then cutting our during a tribute to a club legend. No working clocks or scoreboards in the house. A Beirut effect mood room to the left of the South Tent. That's why we love Rovers, or something. |

The lack of scoreboard and match clock is awful - surely they could at least get the one on the West Stand roof up and running? i hadn't even noticed the frame for the new big screen before - it looks a bit rusty already and cobbled together with some old scaffold tubes and DIY welding! We're not rag bag rovers for nothing are we!!! |

From the east side of the Thatchers, the PA wasn’t working well for the Geoff Dunford tribute either. Nice to see the apology, but I won’t hold my breath that technical difficulties won’t arise again.

Can’t believe nobody has mentioned the east terrace gents toilets being closed for cleaning before the game. |

Can’t believe nobody has mentioned the east terrace gents toilets being closed for cleaning before the game. This was because some gentleman (who passed me on the staircase as I left the gents inside the East Stand) had vomited all over the place in the East Terrace toilets. I can’t believe no stewards took him aside to check he was ok. The guy was literally covered in his own sick. I’m glad the clean up operation was prompt, wouldn’t want any kids/grandkids of mine going in there. |

He certainly was. Young bearded chap in his 30’s maybe. who was using the railing to stand up, he was heading up to make his way to the East Stand seats. I’d be surprised if he made it. |

Next time they can display the tribute on the large screen. Never change Rovers. |

Have to say, thought it was utterly disgraceful on Rovers part that could even happen. The PA system has been joke ever since we’ve played here. It literally only happens at Rovers. Embarrassing
